Last time I was in London there was a shooting near Tower bridge

Since you guys want to be assholes about it, here’s some data to back up the fact that you have a fairly substantial amount of gun crime

Remind me of the date and I'll tell you where the 1-7 daily mass shootings in America were for that day.

Wasn’t suggesting we don’t have gun violence. Merely correcting your statement of “freedom from gun crime”

Ah yes, that singular anecdote definitely cancels out the actual statistics on the subject.

Anyway everyone knows London doesn't count as part of the UK.

[-] supamanc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I'll bet that every single place named Tower Bridge in the USA has had a shooting incident. Probably in the last year.

Yup, you’re probably right. I was arguing the wording, not the numbers.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
